Learning Challenge: Deskercises

I read about some desksercises, and I am so happy I did. I have to sit a lot. I am a student and I work at a circulation desk in a library. It is weird how tiring and draining just sitting can be. I tried some shoulder and neck stretches, as well as some arm stretches. I think these are the two I will keep doing the most. I also enjoyed doing some back workouts. Seriously, there isn't much support in any of the chairs on campus, so my back starts to kill me after a while.

Tech Tip: Canvas Profile

So, perhaps you are like me and have never bothered to mess with your Canvas profile. Today I went ahead and did some updating on it. I uploaded a picture of myself for the first time. I also created a bibliography for myself. If I had a personal website, I might have uploaded it, but this is my only site. Please don't blame me for not wanting to connect it to my canvas for classmates across all classes to see. Either way, this was a pretty easy little thing to do. I personally believe everyone should at least upload a photo so it is easier to look up classmates.
